Cops: Goldilocks bandit fell asleep in stranger's hotel room

A couple returning to their Panhandle hotel room found their luggage unzipped and $90 missing, 75 pills and a stranger, later identified as Stefen Michael Kessler, snoozing in their bed, cops said, reports the Northwest Florida Daily News in Fort Walton Beach.

After cops caught up with Kessler, who had some evidence and over $900 in cash on his person, Kessler asked if officers could just return $90 to the couple -- and let him keep the rest for bond, records show.
